"The original designer said that "video games are machines that fill memory". The majority of the time, game programmers are thinking about how to fill memory with huge reams of data in ways that allow the data to be efficiently accessed and processed. Hundreds of megabytes of memory must be moved from the hard disk into main memory, and from there into the video card or the processor cache to be processed and returned back to main memory. Because video game players don’t like to wait, all this must be done as fast as is allowable by laws of our universe. The primary purpose of a programming language is to allow the specification of algorithms to manage data. Language features like garbage collection and templated data streams and dynamic string classes may help the programmer write code faster, but they don’t help the programmer write faster code."
